Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC.

Thea Rogers, 32, has just become the youngest junior partner at her prestigious corporate law firm. She is elated as she lives for her job, but then an elderly, not very well-liked senior partner dies suddenly and everyone just attends his funeral out of duty. Even his wife and ex mistress seemed to despise him. Thea re-evaluates her life and finds that she has no relationships to speak of. Her parents and sister don't understand her job and the man in her life, Alasdair, is only a friend with benefits. 

So she impulsively jacks her job in and moves to Kent where her parents are, to make money flipping a property with Rebecca, the ex mistress who lives in her street and has a son called Rollo. They find an old water mill to renovate but there's a problem - the water mill is actually functional so a charity gets involved to make sure they don't dismantle it. They have help from Ben who sold them the mill and George from the charity. But then Alasdair contacts her again, and Thea is torn what to do, especially as the plans for the mill have just changed considerably.

The plot is interesting, and I like the cover. I expected it to be predictable and it was but I surprised myself how much I enjoyed the story. This is light-hearted and extremely well-written, with well developed characters. I like a good renovation and people who change their lives. The book is full of heart and humour, and at the end everyone is happier.
